A Korean Baseball Team Is Filling Seats With Bizarre Robot Fans

The Hanwha Eagles in Korea are doubling down on an effort to fill their seats, and doing it with some very bizarre technology.

The BBC reports that the team is installing robots in some of the stadium's rows that act as proxies for actual fans. Basically, if you want to attend a game, but don't want to actually attend, you can do it at home over the internet.

Fans get on their devices at home and actually control when they want the robots to cheer and root for the team.
